Apart from the Suez crisis and the Rhodesian embargo was there any serious British attempt to maintain the empire after the second World War?

Mau Mau, Malaya, Kenya

Those were efforts at preventing British colonies from becoming Soviet colonies, weren't they?

There was no effort to keep either Kenya or Malaysia as British. In Malaysia, the war continued after independence.

The entire effort by the British was to keep them as possessions. The wars continued after independence because non-communists took power.
